189 The Broken Souls

"There are three, not two Alencica…"

Ivan and Fredek hadn't realized they'd been very tense as Alistair spoke. They sat ramrod straight on their seats, their breathing held as they listened.

It was Ivan who had recovered first.

"Three? How is that possible?"

Perun had the ability to break souls into pieces as he had done over and over again to his beloved child in order to save her throughout the millennia. But as far as he knew, the King of Heaven could only break someone's soul in half.

Alistair sighed heavily as he settled further into his chaise. "It must be the side effect of having been broken over and over again."

Since the beginning of time – since they first tried to break the curse, Alencica's soul had been severed into two a plethora of times they had lost count. They had no idea how the curse worked before which resulted in Alencica's death over and over again as well – the tragic cycle that she was in.
